Jayfeather's POV
I checked on Briarlight, she was laying in her nest, sleeping. She was beautiful, she reminded me of me and Half moon's love. Sadness filled my heart, thinking of Half moon's death, I sighed, and quietly paddled away to sort herbs. ~NEXT DAY~ Spiderleg ran in the den, limping. He looked out of breath. "What's the problem?" I meowed. He quickly said, "I got a thorn in my left leg, and it hurts! Mrroww!". "You sound like a kit, hold still" I said. I looked over Spiderleg's left leg. I spotted the thorn and got it with my teeth. Spiderleg watched me take it out, he winced, but then he was fine after the thorn got out. "Thank you!" He said, and bounded away to talk to Brambleclaw. I went back to sorting my herbs, then suddenly I heard Briarlight, "do you need help Jayfeather?" she asked. I looked at her for less than a heartbeat. "No thank you, I'm fine", I said. She nodded and watched me sort out the herbs.
Briarlight's POV
I was watching Jayfeather sort out the herbs, he was so handsome. But even I knew he was a medicine cat, and me and him can never be mates. I loved Jayfeather with all my heart. Then Jayfeather meowed, "are you going to stare at me all day?". I blushed, and gave my chest fur a couple of embarrassed licks. "no-n-no.." I said, stammering. Really Briarlight! You already embarrass yourself in front of your crush! Stupid, stupid! I went back to my nest, and waited for fresh kill. Then I heard paw steps, and I noticed it was Hollyleaf, she dropped fresh kill near my paws, and paddled away. I felt a pang of sadness, I was always lonely. I felt like my only friend was Jayfeather, he was the only one who really stopped doing what he was doing, and would talk and listen to me. Everyone else would just talk with me for a couple of heartbeats, or just say nothing. I sighed and ate my fresh kill. After that, I began to fall into a deep sleep. ~DREAMING~ I paddled around the shimmering place, with LOTS of rocks. I noticed a beautiful she-cat. Then I gasped, it was Half Moon! I suddenly felt a pang of envy, I remembered she and Jayfeather loved each other...until she died. But why was she here? "Hello" said Half Moon, her beautiful pelt glimmered. "Hi" I replied. "Why am I here?" I added. She looked at me, and said "I want you to be with Jayfeather...I..I..I mean..he lo-ves you..and I think you-u can make him happy.." she said stammering, ask if she regretted every word. "But he's a medicine cat!" I said, confused. She replied saying, "he loves yo-u-you, and he is lonely without a mate..I..I want him to be happy.." she said. I sighed, was it true? Did he love the cat that lost her back legs? Then I spoke, "your right...I will try!". She started to fade away slowly, and for a heartbeat I thought she hissed, but maybe it was just what I thought, Half Moon wouldn't hiss at her for no real reason.
Half Moon's POV
I regretted every word I told her. I hissed when I started to fade away, I was afraid Briarlight would notice, but I don't think she would, she was stupid after all. I was very upset, I didn't want Jayfeather with her! I wanted him all to myself, I loved him first anyways. Did he still love me? Does he still think about me? I pushed those questions out of my head. I was angry, I should have never told her that, I knew it was the right thing to do. But I still wanted Jayfeather to just love me, not some other she-cat! She wasn't even pretty. I growled, and unsheathed my claws. I wanted to kill her! But, I didn't want to go to the Dark Forest...I wanted to be in Starclan. I sighed and began to sob quietly. Why had I agreed to tell her that? I loved Jayfeather! I sobbed more.
Jayfeather's POV
It was morning, and the sun was shining. I spotted Ferncloud sunning herself outside. I began to eat my vole. Then I heard a low groan. It was Briarlight, she had woken up. Then I said, "morning, Willowshine brought some fresh-kill for you, it's next to your nest". She nodded, and began to eat her squirrel. After my fresh kill I began to sort out herbs, last night I had collected catmint, and I got lots. Then I saw Briarlight watching me again. I wondered why she always watched me sort out herbs. Did she want to be a medicine cat, like me? Or did she like to just watch for entertainment? Then I heard her meow, "Jayfeather, I need to talk with you". I stopped sorting out herbs and replied saying, "okay, what do you want to tell me?". I sat with my eyes on her. Then she took a deep breath. Then she began to speak, "Half Moon talked to me last night, she told me..you loved me, and she wanted me to be with you", there was hope in her eyes. How did Half Moon know that he loved Briarlight, and why didn't Half Moon talk to him instead of Briarlight? My mind was swirling with questions. "so.." Briarlight said. I looked at her, it was true. I did love her, but being with Briarlight would only mean breaking the warrior code. I was a medicine cat. But I loved her enough to break the warrior code, so then I replied, "we have to keep secret, about our love" I meowed. She looked very happy, more happy than she been in days. She purred, and so did I.
